Although Mohammedans, and particularly
Shihite Mohammedans, are forbidden by
their religion to indulge in alcoholic bever
ages, the average high official in Persia is any
thing but a sanctimonious individual, and
partakes with keen relish of the forbidden
fruit in an open secret manner. The thin,
transparent veil of abstemiousness that the
Persian noble wears in Difference to the sancti-
monious pretentions of the mollahs and seyuds
and the pubic eye at large, is cast aside al

and particularly if that intimate friend is a

The Sartiep, soon after his arrival, init

The sartiep strokes his beard and stomach,

THE UNIVERSITY BILL.

The University bill went to its third
reading in the Assembly yesterday. 1t
will now be returned to the Senate for con-
currence in slight amendment. 1t may
be considered, therefore, as practically
passed. The bill provides a fixed rate for
the support of the State University, and
thus takes it out Of the Legislature as a
suppliant at each session for assistance.
This emancipation of the University is
cause for rejoicing among its sincere
friends, and reflects credit upon the pres
ent Legislature that viii remain when its
other acts shall have faded from memory
The bill gives the University that freedom
from doubt concerning its pernanency so
essential to the full evolution of its pur-
poses. 1t will quicken to new life every
worker related to the institution, since
they will now realize that their labors are
not for brief time, and that nothing
worthy of all they accomplish for the Uni
versity will be lost to the State or coming
generations. As it is a triumph for higher
education, an Endorsement by the people of
the whole scheme of the institution, we
may look for the more rapid advancement
of this chief school of the commonwealth,
and for new interest to be taken in it by
the people, every one of whom who pays a
single dollar OF tax will realize that it is his
or her school, and that its prosperity is de-
pendent upon such equal contribution, and
that each has a personal interest in its
l.-t;,,,.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

What has become ofthe advocates of the new

many yesterday. They viii bob up sereneiy at
the proper time, and don't you forget it, re-
marked Colusa county man who is in favor of
a division of that Democratic stronghold.
Assemblyman Adams occupied the Speakers
chair for while yesterday, and acquitted him
self in excellent style. He disproyed the Oft
repeated assertion that 1oloites are not up in

The Hobbies of the Legislature are thinned
out; even the professionals have given it up as
a bad job and returned home or embarked in
some other enterprise. The man looking for
the sack has been comparatively a stranger to
the Capitol since the election of the United
States Senator.
How TO put in their time and keep from dying
of clnui is what bothers the army of committee
clerks. Some have sold their time to scalp
ers'' for the balance of the session and returned
to their homes.

THE FISHERY QUESTION.

Secretary Manning'S letter on the fishery
question throws much light upon the sub
ject 1t is clear that, after all, our action
is not wholly retaliatory-we have simply
Withdrawn, as it isspeciied we may do, from
the compact of 1880. On the other hand,
the Canadians, by legislation, closed their
ports to our fishing vessels seeking to trade
and authorizing their seizure. The United
States has uniformly refused to concede
that the treaty of 1918 authorizes such
Legislation, and here is where the pinch
comes. If we now exclude Canada from
fishery trade with u.s. there will be hard
ship worked upon our own dealers, but it
will be of short duration and not affect
large interests, for the Canadians will not
consent to a total sacrifice of their trade
with us, and it is better to suffer some
what ourselves by intcrdicting all traffic
with Canada for time, in order to bring
the Canadians to their senses. In 1886 we
imported of dutlable fish from Canada the
value of but 81, 105,3S2 That was sub
sequent to the abrogation Of the Washing
ton treaty. In 1894, while it was in force,
we imported but S3,S73,799, including
81 100000 worth of fresh fish not dutiable
under the general tariff schedules. Can
ada, in 1856, bought Of us S2l3,794 worth
of fish, so that our net importation, free
and dutiable, was for that year but
Sl,963,O00, of which $4,000 only paid
duty. Canada sends us, says Bradsteefs,
more value in hens eggs than in fish by
SS00,000 Her lumber export exceeds
largely the fish values we receive, and it is
likewise true of her output of barley. The
fish trade, in fact, amounts to but about 2
per cent. The screw that is to be applied
to Canada, if at all, therefore relates TO the
9S per cent OF trade otherwise represented
So far therefore, as Furnishing Canada
through her fish trade, by cutting off all
traffic in it is concerned, she would be able
"to stand it" easily, and continue in her
exclusive policy, ard to search our vessels
towering near the fishing banks she
claims exclusively. But if we prohibit all
commerce from Canadian soil to ours, the
case viii be very different one, and the
Canadians must yield

NEW AGENTS OF DESTRUCTION.

Ifwith the close of winter there should
be war in Europe, as now appears probable,
it will be more deadly and hence briefer
than any preceding conflict between ma
lions in arms. Chemical science has come
to the aid of peace, and by the invention
Of new destructive agents, rendered the
killing of men and destruction of property
to settle the disputes of rulers less diff
cult, and, therefore, long continuation of
war less probable. France is said to be
possessed of knowledge of new chemical
agent beside which the destructive force Of
dynamite is trivial. The melinite shell.
1t is said, can be thrown from any piece OF
artillery or mortar, and does havoc far
wider in extent and more terrible in re-
